  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: Should I put Vitamin C drops in Water or can I put Tang in the water? | |
We live in Australia and because the standard of pellets is apparently pretty poor our vet said we should supplement their diet with childrens chewable vitamin C dissolved in water.
we do feed them fresh vegetables too, but the vet said it is impossible to overdose on vitamin C so strongly advised supplementing their diet.
I have been dissolving 1 500mg tablet in tap water and syringing in to two pigs lasting for 10 days.
I use this method as it would be too tricky to cut up a tablet into 10 pieces. So besides the fact that they absolutely love the taste of it, is this totally pointless after the first day?
Also I leave the dissolved mixture in the fridge so it is in the dark most of the time. I've also heard that if i use boiled water it has no chlorine so the vitamin C will not degrade, would this be better?
sorry for the long question but i just want to do the right thing for my dependants.
Thanks for any help |
